Have somebody tried FSHelis Alouette or Lama? Are they good?
 
Yes - I often fly both and love the different underslung loads.
 
Never got air sick ,until I wondered what that pilot must have gone through. Can the Bell 47 perform that well?
 
My personal favorite is the "Pyro" by Mick Posch. You can see it here:

He did a beautiful job on both the interior and exterior. It's a blast to fly and while I know it isn't a production heli (yet), it pushes the envelope of what will probably be possible at some point. In any current heli, you're speed reaches a wall and that's it. You can push it faster in a dive probably but it'll fall apart eventually. In the Pyro, straight and level. . .close to 300kts!

This gem has been out for over a year, yet I rarely see anything about it. Don't care in the least what the purest will debate about rotor tip speeds and how impossible it would be to actually push a heli to those figures. . .it's fun, it's beautifully designed and the price is very reasonable compared to other payware products.

I like the Pyro,too, but my digital altimeter doesn't seem to work. It is stucked at "0" all the time. Anyone here has the same problem?
